tropic designs’ excellent little weather app was flagged a trojan this morning on 2 of my xp boxes. avast disabled them and i have since removed them for a clean install later. any ideas why this occured? i’m pretty sure tropic isn’t in the trojan business and my other xp boxes that run different anti-viral apps aren’t reporting any issues.
What virus (name) was reported?
it’s probably Win32:Induc… look for another Induc posts here or on our blog…
Hi :
Bug Fixes:
Emergency Fix for False positive from Virus scanners "
However, I uninstalled what I had; then downloaded the latest, which I
assumed included the “Emergency Fix”, but was unable to install it .
When I was looking for a weather program I ran across WeatherMate
http://www.ravib.com/wm/
It comes with an installer but the files can be copied to a removable drive (I really like portable freeware) and then uninstall it. It uses info from the weather channel.
hmmm “Emergency Fix for False positive from Virus scanners” false positives : (weatherpulse-beta-2.10-build11)

Hi Milos,
Isn’t the ‘fixed’ one 2.10 Build 13?
You said build 11 ???
-Scott-
v. 2.1.0 build 12 was the one avast flagged.
milos, re your screen shot: but the new version contains the dephi worm as well?
Hi,
weatherpulse-beta-2.10-build13 is clean.
My comment, screenshot and link to virustotal was to “Emergency Fix for False positive from Virus scanners”, that it is not false positive.
thanks milos. i’ve upgraded the app and all is well. meanwhile norton just flagged wp on a corporate box. i’ve updated that too. thanks everyone for your prompt attention.
